MEDICAL EMERGENCY: Due to an illness involving multiple trips to the emergency room and culminating in severe pneumonia, Sluggy Freelance went on hiatus for a week (which had only ever happened once before) followed by months of 3-comics-a-week just shy of being able to claim 15 years of daily content. Durn kids and their durn germs!

Currently any animated gif comics have not been
resized for the new archive due to it breaking the animation.

So weâve got the basic standard animated strip, but with color and heart. Thanks to my wife Rachel for coming up with the idea of having Kiki sing âFiftyâ instead of âFifteenâ which made me think of how slipups get exaggerated and can totally burn your career in the Olympics â¦Â and there you go.

Whereas accolades are nice, in the end Iâve always let the comicsâ quality speak for itself. It seems like it is the only thing in my business that I get right. So Iâm not going to go for fanfare* this year.Â Just the knowledge that here I am, a decade and a half from where Torg and the gang started, still standing proud, and still feeling very, very lucky to be doing this for a living, and feeling very grateful to you all for allowing me to do so, and still enjoying run-on sentences. Thanks to you all!

*And for the record, if I had time in my schedule I would TOTALLY go for fanfare!

Our 15th Anniversary Celebration Continues!Yes, I know in this world Torg and the gang don’t have Twitter, they have Bleater. But I always think of these first-comic-parody comics as being commentary on our real-world internet. And how could I get Satan fired over just 12 characters (ala Bleater)? Wait, don’t answer that.Ref: 10th Anniversary Special Edition Comic | The First Comic.

I accidentally ran the Wednesday comic for this week on Tuesday! When I went to fix it, apparently removing an existing comic from a date causes a server error when you click on that date on the calendar. So I needed to run a placeholder. Plus I’m a dummy.

Today's Halloween Art was created by my daughter Leah Abrams. What's wrong with me, making her draw something like that? Here's hoping I still have power (thanks Hurricane Sandy), and hoping you all have a happy Halloween!
